Wilson Andersen was a major factor no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out 12 over seven innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in seven consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with one home run, five RBI, and one triple. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April of 2025.
In other batting news, Ben Burke was excellent, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs and one stolen base. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games he's played.
Meanwhile, Osceola was able to grind out a solid win over Island Coast on Saturday, taking the game 9-6.
The team relied heavily on Diego Conley, who went 2-for-4 with one home run and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Ethan Futch, who went 1-for-3 with one home run.
Jesuit's victory bumped their record up to 24-5. As for Osceola, their win bumped their record up to 23-6.
The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Friday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Jesuit has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 10 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Osceola struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 8.4 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Everything went Jesuit's way against Osceola in their previous meeting back in May of 2024, as Jesuit made off with a 16-4 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Tigers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
